Formed in 2010 by former IMAGIKA lead guitarist Steven D. Rice, KILL RITUAL have released 2 critically acclaimed albums, ‘The Serpentine Ritual’ (2012) and ‘The Eyes Of Medusa’ (2014), and are now ready to unleash their fury with ‘Karma Machine’, a powerful sonic beast that can be described as the perfect mix of all the band’s influences. Encompassing 9 tracks, the CD finds Kill Ritual going from heavy to melodic while retaining their thrash roots. The album was once again produced by guitarist Steven D. Rice and mixed/mastered by King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque. Artwork was completed by longtime Kill Ritual artist Jobert Mello (Sabaton, Primal Fear, Benedictum). ‘Karma Machine’ also marks the debut of new vocalist David Reed Watson , drummer Koryun Bobikyan and bassist Bobby HQ Storm. The album will be available starting from September 18. http://www.scarletrecords.it http://www.killritual.com .

The band have also finished shooting a video for the song “Rise” at Sound Wave Studios in Oakland CA. with Mike Sloat (Testament, Machine Head, Lynard Skynard) that will introduce the new line up prior to the September 18th release.
Vocalist David has this to say about the new CD “Karma Machine will take the fans on a journey not traditionally seen in metal while still maintaining its metal roots. This is some of my best writing and singing to date and I’m positive Kill Ritual will take the world by storm.”
